I need to do WAN Bonding with Mikrotik router and a cloud router with only one public IP address, i am unable to make the Mikrotik router establish 2 VPN connections to the cloud server over the 2 WAN at the same time.
I tried Mangle but it’s not working. The Mikrotik router is always establishing the 2 VPN connections over WAN 1 or WAN 2.
I want to have
Mikrotik router VPN 1 → WAN 1 → Cloud (41.41.41.41)
Mikrotik router VPN 2 → WAN 2 → Cloud (41.41.41.41)
Any advises on how i can do this ?
The image below tho illustrate my network diagram.
Thanks
You haven’t shown what exactly you have configured in mangle and where.
First, to handle packets sent by the Mikrotik itself, you have to use chain output of mangle.
Second, /interface ovpn-client doesn’t allow to specify which local address to use for a given connection, so to use different WANs for the different connections, you have to distinguish between them up to some other property than the source address. Since both connect to the same remote IP address, you have to specify a different port value for each connection, so that the action=mark-routing rule in mangle could match on dst-port. And to let the connection to the other port succeed, you have to use an action=dst-nat rule at the CHR to redirect the packets coming to that other port back to the one at which the server is actually listening.
If the CHR wasn’t under your administration, you would have to use a hairpin IPIP tunnel and yet another routing table at the 2011 so that you could use that action=dst-nat rule already there.
I haved successfully managed to re-route traffic on WAN 1 & WAN 2.
For those who will need to know how to do it :
1- As Sindy said, we have to mangle the traffic of the router specificly (destination port identification)
